Victorville's 2025 Stand-Alone Fees kit prices a water heater replacement at $152.00 per permit, and the septic or sewer repair line next to it reads the same $152.00. The Building Department posts that kit with its residential and commercial kits on the Fee Schedules page. A Master User Fee Schedule effective January 1, 2026 carries a CPI-adjusted update. Ask the Permit Center whether $152.00 still holds. A contract under one thousand dollars in total can go to someone without a license, under state law, but only if the work needs no building permit, and splitting a job into smaller contracts to get there isn't allowed. That exemption ends once the person advertises as a contractor or hires anyone.
